[Bug 486370] Re: Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk
This is an intentional design choice for FAT32. As the filesystem is intentionally case-insensitive, it cannot work, and hence cannot be fixed in Ubuntu. Further, even if someone submitted a working patch to make it work in Ubuntu, we wouldn't want to fix it, as it would break compatibility with the other several thousand implementations of FAT32 floating around the internet. ** Changed in: windows-el (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 486370] Re: Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk
@ Fabio Marconi - This bug has been incorrectly assigned. I do not have windows-el (window manager for GNU Emacs) installed. Note that this is an issue in nautilus but also happens when preforming the same task of renaming a file via the command line: kompu...@cool:~/test$ touch Foo kompu...@cool:~/test$ mv Foo foo kompu...@cool:~/test$ cd /media/vfat/ kompu...@cool:/media/vfat$ touch Foo kompu...@cool:/media/vfat$ mv Foo foo mv: `Foo' and `foo' are the same file Notes ~/test is ext4, /media/vfat is fat32 -- Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 486370] Re: Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk
Hi Fabio, this is in fact a problem with the FAT filesystem not making distinctions between two files of the same name with different capitalization. However, this may be true of FAT, many other operating systems will allow you to adjust capitalization in the file name without having to add a character to make the name distinct. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete = New -- Cannot rename folder from FOO to foo on vfat disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
